Hooray

Yay! We went out to a Christmas party without hiring a sitter! We told Nat in advance and drew up a new calendar. We left him with a Disney Sing-Along, and then he was going to watch The Simpsons with Ben and Max. I told him exactly when we would be back (in time for giving him his pills, before bedtime) and where we would be.

He wasn’t anxious! So we had a little date time with Max in charge, and it was OKAY!!!

I feel years younger, being able to do this once more. We have not left Max in charge since last May, when Nat’s really anxious time began. I know, I know, one day at a time, but this day was certainly a pleasant surprise.

Awesome!! I’m glad you had a nice, peaceful evening away.

Hey, what did Ben think of the Wii? I’m dying to know…

Kickass – you gotta start somewhere. I’m so glad it all worked.
